Our Most Vital Leverage In Life Is Readily Available For Getting Ahead...Exploit Yours

It is high time Financial capital Intimidating potential is demystified, as well as others; Intellectual or Human, Material, Natural, Manufactured, Assets and these are not in any particular order.

There is a consensus, that the most important capital or resource is Human in any organization; Priced higher than money. However, if there is no Money, chances are you may not be able to build that human capital.

It is very easy to build an island around unavailability of financial capital when it's NOT a level 5 problem; level 5 of 100-the starter's level.

It's being advised by many business development gurus, that, it is better to experiment a new business with very low risk bearing capital.

This is where Social Capital Deployment comes to bear.

Social Capital, Layman Definition, is the value you command leveraging on Relationships you have built mostly directly and indirectly from the Day you were born to the Day you come across this Article... And you can not get the definition simpler than that.

Social Capital is mostly emotionally accrued over the years of interactions, with relations, friends, colleagues across our sphere of engagements and also very importantly across the sphere of engagements of the relations, friends and colleagues we interact with.

Social Capital can open unimaginable doors of opportunities that you may never be able to command even with highest level of education and financial capital.

For the purpose of example, one of my Siblings work a Federal Media Organization and by virtue of what she does so well, Technically, she has political access to certain Ministers and Commissioners, She can virtually take people to the living room of such political bigwigs; Bigwigs that people with financial capital and all will have to book appointment to see.

Some drivers and gatemen have such huge social capital,that can open unimaginable doors when you have them as friends. Some Tailors, Barbers,musicians will shock you with their Power of Access they carry.

Marriages have created huge social capital for many to exploit as well as Certain Relationships. People have gotten jobs and businesses just because they are related and born by certain Influential or Legacy Parents.

Some parents will invest in certain schools in view of the interactions and leverages that they anticipate their children will have in the future.

Inspite of all the handouts, the biggest contributions to growing Social Capital is the ones you invested yourself; from toddlers, primary school,secondary school, while learning your trade, or in higher institutions, when you got your job,or the business, how diligent you came across, the fidelity rating, the trust rating you built with your small breaks and all will add up to your Social Capital.

The other critical avenue to built a Social capital leverage is from friends and Colleagues you schooled and worked together  previously. Most of such interactions were closely engaging for more than 4years. And now with  the advent of social media and such like, the capital can grow exponentially and be leveraged for low risk financial capital, intellectual capital, material capital and more.

Social capital is a spring board when built on integrity and all. But also note that the news get round when it is abused. It is very difficult to rebuild a dented image. Odusina Adewale Hiworks

Reward and Responsibility by Odusina Adewale Hiworks

Reward and Responsibility by Odusina Adewale Hiworks

Reward & Responsibility in local parlance are 6&7.

Reward when it is normal is momentary and at transitional point of a trajectory.

Rewards are solemnized by feelings of achievement or punitive measures. Rewards points to the past and when over pampered become weights and clog in the Wheel of progress. Over celebrated rewards is another word for Pride. When one over-dwells on the past, it becomes a drag.

Responsibility culminates into reward and this is window of transition for deeper engagement and further show of Responsibility is expected.

For a baby to be delivered from pregnancy, both the Baby and the Mother have very important critical roles. The failure of either to play these crucial roles always put more responsibility on the medical team at delivery.

We call the reward of responsible fetus and mother Normal Delivery. Afterwards, Baby lives the solitary confinement of the womb and at the very climax of that exit, takes responsibility for oxygen in the blood systems by breathing and mum after the womb base caretaking does not go on 3 weeks break but picks up nursing and feeding the new born from the tenderly through the very crucial stages where others can join in the caretaking.

What will happen if the mother goes on three weeks leave, or baby decides to insist on belly button supply of food and oxygen???? We all know the obvious reward.

We can see that Rewards sometimes are so momentary that it seems very unnoticeable but Responsibilities are too tangible to overlook.

We have all watched football matches where a team that just score a goal, gets beating two goals down, while in the climax of the euphoria of the goal scored just few minutes back. In the same light, a team that just conceded a goal, is most likely to lose further within the few minutes of the loss.

Managing Gratification, Failure & Punitive Measures properly is crucial to Sustainable Success in Life.

I have observed lots of people look forward to retirement and at retirement, they degenerate so rapidly within the first few months that I wondered, what was triggered in their Psyche during the retirement, that aggravated the ageing process. A lot of people, few months into retirement become financially handicapped as most of their savings and benefits become consumed by depression and its bagwagon.
To live Long and Well, we must keep Discovering our Next Responsibilities and Consciously Playing Down On Gratifications, Failures, and Consequences Of Previous Acts Of Irresponsibility.

At retirement, one can pick up an advisory role, teaching, mentoring, or writing roles among many others like sales of goods and services, farming, sporting classes-teaching retirees by example on how to stay fit, open a gym.

For young ones without a job, volunteer somewhere, choose within 30-60mins walk distance from where you reside; you will definitely find someone that needs an extra hand. Pick up soft skill while waiting and volunteer to gain mastery of use; that will come handy on your next employment.

Above all, avoid all illegality; they are the biggest subtle killers of the creative potentials of the mind. Can you imagine doing three times more work just to commit a crime?

Take back your Guts!!!

Take back your Guts!!! 

Written on my 47th birthday 
By Odusina Adewale Hiworks

Be the Man or Woman; Bathroom to Boardroom;Unassuming, Unpretentious and Unafraid.

Take the Man singing in the Bathroom;
That King;
Take that King to the Boardroom
But with the Ferocity of the Lion

Take that Woman in the Kitchen;
That Home Builder;
That Queen in our elements;
Take that Woman to the Negotiations

Take that Baby, Boy or Girl;
That Baby Unassuming, Unpretentious and Unafraid;
Yes That Baby Personality to the Teenager He or She shall become.

Teenagers, Keep That Baby Personality; very Believing Personality; Unassuming, Unpretentious and Unafraid
Teenagers, don't loose that Baby Personality; very Believing Personality and Unafraid to the Adult you shall become.

Pause now!!! Know for sure
You shall be Pressed to Trade in Your Believing sometimes by those you believed in
You shall be taught otherwise by those that have chosen to be defined by certain fear; they've been deceived but do not know.

So, if you are already there, assuming, afraid and unbelieving in your guts, Shake off that beast and let the Lion arise from within.

Take back your Guts!!!

Do the exact thing the fear is afraid of; starve the fear.

Stand Tall, Believing Again

And Succeed.....at your passion.
